PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes Deep capture memory PicoScope 2000 Series ‘B’ models have waveform capture buffers ranging from 32 to 128 megasamples – many times larger than competing scopes. Deep memory enables the capture of long-duration waveforms at maximum sampling speed. In fact, some PicoScope 2000 Series models can capture 100 ms waveforms with 1 ns resolution. In contrast, the same 100 ms waveform captured by an oscilloscope with a 10 megasample memory would have just 10 ns resolution. Deep memory can be useful in other ways too: PicoScope 6 lets you divide the capture memory into a number of segments, up to a maximum of 10 000. You can set up a trigger condition to store a separate capture in each segment, with as little as 1 µs dead time between captures. Once you have acquired the data, you can step through the memory one segment at a time until you find the event you are looking for. Powerful tools are included to allow you to manage and examine all of this data. As well as functions such as mask limit testing and color persistence mode, the PicoScope 6 software enables you to zoom into your waveform by a factor of several million. The Zoom Overview window allows you to easily control the size and location of the zoom area. Other tools, such as the waveform buffer, serial decoding and hardware acceleration work with the deep memory, making the PicoScope 2000 Series some of the best-value oscilloscopes on the market.

PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes PicoScope 6 software The PicoScope software display can be as basic or as detailed as you need. Begin with a single view of one channel, and then expand the display to include up to four live channels (model-dependent), plus math channels and reference waveforms. Display multiple scope and spectrum views with automatic or custom layouts and quickly access all the most frequently-used controls from the toolbars, leaving the display clear for your waveforms.

PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes Mixed digital and analog signals The PicoScope 2000 MSO models add 16 digital channels to their two analog channels, enabling you to accurately time-correlate analog and digital channels. You can group digital channels together and display them as a bus, with each bus value displayed in hex, binary or decimal, or as a level (for DAC testing). You can set advanced triggers across both the analog and digital channels. The digital inputs also bring extra power to the serial decoding options. You can decode serial data on all analog and digital channels simultaneously, giving you up to 20 channels of data – for example decoding multiple SPI, I²C, CAN bus, LIN bus and FlexRay signals all at the same time.

Choose from a number of automatic frequency-domain measurements to add to the display, including THD, THD+N, SNR, SINAD and IMD. You can apply mask limit testing to a spectrum and can even use the AWG and spectrum mode together to perform swept scalar network analysis.

PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes Serial decoding and analysis The PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes include serial decoding capability as standard. The PicoScope 6 software has support for 20 protocols including I2C, SPI, CAN, RS-232, Manchester and DALI. Decoding helps you see what is happening in your design to identify programming and timing errors and check for other signal integrity issues. Timing analysis tools help to show the performance of each design element, identifying parts of the design that need to be improved to optimize overall system performance. You can capture and decode several protocols at a time, in any combination, the only limit being the number of available channels – 18 for MSO models, as you can decode serial data on all analog and digital inputs simultaneously. The ability to observe data flow across a bridge (such as CAN bus in, LIN bus out) is incredibly powerful. The deep memory of the PicoScope 2000B models makes them ideal for serial decoding, as they can handle many thousands of frames of data.

GRAPH FORMAT shows the decoded You can zoom in on these frames to TABLE FORMAT shows a list of the The statistics option reveals more detail data (in hex, binary, decimal or ASCII) investigate noise or distortion, and each decoded frames, including the data and about the physical layer such as frame in a timing diagram format, beneath the packet field is assigned a different color, all flags and identifiers.

PicoScope 6 can waveform on a common time axis, with so the data is easy to read. filtering conditions to display only the also import a spreadsheet to decode the error frames marked in red. frames you are interested in or search for data into user-defined text strings. frames with specified properties.

PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes Mask limit testing Mask limit testing allows you to compare live signals against known good signals, and is designed for production and debugging environments. Simply capture a known good signal, generate a mask around it and then use the alarms to automatically save any waveform (complete with a time stamp) that violates the mask. PicoScope 6 will capture any intermittent glitches and show a failure count in the Measurements window (which you can still use for other measurements). You can also set the waveform buffer navigator to show only mask fails, enabling you to find any glitches quickly. Mask files are easy to edit (numerically or graphically), import and export, and you can simultaneously run mask limit tests on multiple channels and in multiple viewports.

Alarms You can program PicoScope 6 to execute actions when certain events occur. The events that can trigger an alarm include mask limit fails, trigger events and buffers full. PicoScope 6 actions include saving a file, playing a sound, executing a program and triggering the arbitrary waveform generator.

Waveform buffer and navigator Ever spotted a glitch on a waveform, but by the time you’ve stopped the scope it’s gone? With PicoScope you no longer need to worry about missing glitches or other transient events, as it can store the last 10 000 waveforms in its circular waveform buffer. The buffer navigator provides an efficient way of navigating and searching through waveforms, effectively letting you turn back time. When carrying out a mask limit test, you can also set the navigator to show only mask fails, enabling you to find any glitches quickly.

PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes Arbitrary waveform and function generator Automatic measurements All PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes have a built-in function generator and arbitrary PicoScope allows you to automatically display a table of calculated measurements for waveform generator (AWG). The function generator can produce sine, square, triangle troubleshooting and analysis. Using the built-in measurement statistics you can see the and DC level waveforms, and many more besides, while the AWG allows you to import average, standard deviation, maximum and minimum of each measurement as well as waveforms from data files or create and modify them using the built-in graphical AWG the live value. editor. You can add as many measurements as you need on each view – 18 different As well as level, offset and frequency controls, advanced options allow you to sweep measurements are available in scope mode and 11 in spectrum mode.

PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes Digital triggering architecture In 1991, Pico Technology pioneered the use of digital triggering and precision hysteresis using the actual digitized data. Traditionally, digital oscilloscopes have used an analog trigger architecture based on comparators, which can cause time and amplitude errors that cannot always be calibrated out. Additionally, the use of comparators can often limit the trigger sensitivity at high bandwidths and can create a long trigger rearm delay. Pico’s technique of fully digital triggering reduces trigger errors and allows our oscilloscopes to trigger on the smallest signals, even at the full bandwidth, so you can set trigger levels and hysteresis with high precision and resolution. The digital trigger architecture also reduces the rearm delay. Combined with the segmented memory, this enables you to use rapid triggering to capture 10 000 waveforms in 10 ms in 8-bit mode.

Advanced triggers The PicoScope 2000 Series offers an industry-leading set of advanced triggers including pulse width, windowed and dropout. The digital trigger available on MSO models allows you to trigger the scope when any or all of the 16 digital inputs match a user-defined pattern. ouY can specify a condition for each channel individually, or set up a pattern for all channels at once using a hexadecimal or binary value. You can also use the logic trigger to combine the digital trigger with an edge or window trigger on any of the analog inputs, for example to trigger on data values in a clocked parallel bus.

Custom probes The custom probes feature allows you to correct for gain, attenuation, offsets and nonlinearities in probes, transducers and other sensors, and to measure quantities other than voltages (such as current, power or temperature). Definitions for standard Pico-supplied probes are built in, but you can also create your own using linear scaling or even an interpolated data table, and save them for later use.

PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes Math channels and filters With PicoScope 6 you can perform a variety of mathematical calculations on your input signals and reference waveforms. Select simple functions such as addition and inversion, or open the equation editor to create complex functions involving filters (lowpass, highpass, bandpass and bandstop filters), trigonometry, exponentials, logarithms, statistics, integrals and derivatives. Display up to eight real or calculated channels in each scope view. If you run out of space, just open another scope view and add more. You can also use math channels to reveal new details in complex signals, for example graphing the changing duty cycle or frequency of your signal over time.

Plot frequency against time with PicoScope 6 All oscilloscopes can measure the frequency of a waveform, but often you need to know how that frequency changes over time, which is a difficult measurement to make. The freq math function can do exactly this: in this example, the top waveform’s frequency is being modulated by a ramp function, as plotted in the bottom waveform. A separate math function allows you to plot duty cycle in a similar way.
